Started up with nothing, not a dollar to my name
Driving through the city with a smile on my face
Loving every second makes me feel like I'm complete
Serotonin running through my veins and I am free
Shimmer on the sidewalk not a single cloud in sight
Even when it rains I know that I can sleep at night
Finally made it to the place that I can call my home
And I found the pot of gold that's over the rainbow
When I left I felt no pain, no reason to look back
Now I see what drove me here the need for an impact
The life that I was meant to live the future I have found
There's something in the air here a euphoric scent year round
The stars are brighter in the night, the skylines in my view
The vibrant city midnight life I knew I could pursue
The puzzle pieces match with ease no one would disagree
My glass is half full and I'm filling up with ecstasy
But I can't help from thinking
About what we could have had
The memories I am seeing
The visions of our past
Oh and it's bittersweet
If this town goes down it'll take you with it
Sinking in the ground you'll be sad you didn't leave
Where's that girl? Oh, you just missed her
And it feels so good but it tastes so bittersweet
River flowing down the stream, I think it's time to swim
Reflections of my reused past or a place I haven't been
Silent village tired walls, rusted buildings it's your fault
It's time to leave the sleeping town I know this is the start
I started fresh new life new me, it's music to my ears
My fate is in my hands I've dreamed of this for many years
A golden bridge with stairs for me a walk to destiny
A sunset in the distance cause I'm where I'm meant to be
But I can't help from thinking
About what we could have had
The memories I am seeing
The visions of our past
Oh and it's bittersweet
If this town goes down it'll take you with it
Sinking in the ground you'll be sad you didn't leave
Where's that girl? Oh, you just missed her
And it feels so good but it tastes so bitter (feels so good) sweet
Where's that girl? Oh, you just missed her
And it feels so good but it tastes so bitter sweet
The closer it gets the harder it becomes
The thought that I should run
My childhood, that unread book, the fears I never had
They said the grass (brighter, greener)
Will be greener (finally stepping outside) on the other side
The times, the laughs, (no words spoken) the words spoken
Why change what isn't broken (the book is closed the door is open)
But I can't help from thinking
About what we could have had
The memories I am seeing
The visions of our past
Oh and it's bittersweet
If this town goes down it'll take you with it
Sinking in the ground you'll be sad you didn't leave
Where's that girl? Oh, you just missed her
And it feels so good but it tastes so bitter (feels so good) sweet
Where's that girl? Oh, you just missed her
And it feels so good but it tastes so bittersweet
